Slowing Down

It's been over a year since I posted here. It's not a good excuse, but I have been busy. New opportunities have presented themselves and new responsibilities have come along with them.

But I took a 20' fall on lead while trad climbing on this rock a few weeks ago. That's not me in the picture, but you get the idea.

Much appreciation goes to my intrepid belayer - he did an excellent job. My BD Camalots were placed perfectly and did their jobs just as well.

Only one problem - a shallow ledge interrupted my otherwise pleasant trip down and a broken heel was the result.

So here's a tip. Whatever you do, wherever you go - do not under any circumstance break your heel.

The prognosis was unclear for awhile. Things are looking better today, but months of recovery and PT await. And it could've been a whole lot worse.

So it's all good. Now I've got time - time to slow down, time to think and time to write!

Father, help me learn everything I can from this and emerge more like the man you made me to be.
